Phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence. Phosphorescent pigments crystal absorbs the radiations falling on them and thus e-emit the radiation it absorbs. The main characteristics of the phosphorescent pigments is the particular structure of its crystal with the strong capacity of absorbing-storing-emitting light. After absorbing varieties of visible lights, it can glow for more than twelve hours in the dark. Due to this property of glowing, they are also referred to as the glow-in-dark pigments. Phosphorescent pigment are used for many very different technical and artistic purposes due to its characteristics. It can be used in manufacturing paint; ink; plastic; rubber and films etc. It is completely safe for the application in consumer products such as clothing; shoes; caps; toys; stationery goods; watch; switch; novelties; fishing tools and sporting goods. It has good effects in the fields of building; decoration; traffic vehicle; military installations; fire emergency system. It is especially suitable for the production of long afterglow safety products such as warning; mandatory and escape-route signs.

Phosphorescence is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released slowly in the form of light. Phosphorescent pigments are of the two types: zinc sulphide and strontium aluminate. Zinc sulphide phosphorescent pigments consist of very fine crystals of zinc sulfide; copper is then added to the zinc sulfide as an activator. This allows the crystals to absorb light and slowly emit it over time. Strontium aluminate is the latest Application pigments which is doped with Europium or Dysprosium in order to improve the brightness and the duration of the glow. The main characteristic of phosphorescent pigments is their capacity to absorb, store and emit light. After absorbing light they can glow in the dark for up to twelve hours. In addition the material is stable, non-toxic, has no radioactive additives and has good weatherability.
